Completely different watches in feel. The best way I can describe it is DSSD is like wearing Pam 243 with a rolex badge on it, thick heavy gorgeous badass, 5mm double dome sapphire reminds me of 243, a tank. SubC is minimalist, thin, light, like having a band-aid on your wrist you don't feel a watch on. No date is nice, love no dates since Panerai days. Last sub I had was y-series date, I eventually hated it with a passion from the stupid cyclops, cheap aluminum bezel, rattle box bracelet with a horrible clasp. So I sold it 12 years ago and never looked back. This...this is on another level. As in I couldn't figure out why in the world Rolex charged 4K for the old sub but I totally get it why Rolex charges 7K for this one.
Cheers

glad to hear!
anyone who can (really) pull off the dssd should own and wear one

Yeah DSSD is staying and a perfect strap watch. The Sub will stay on bracelet, although I will change to DSSD glidelock, I think it's a little easier to adjust for daily wrist expansion without taking the watch off

Looks great congrats . I Thought you might have gone Explorer II route for size. Can’t go wrong either way

Thanks Mark. In the end I couldn't get over the cyclops, it's just a persona thing, otherwise an outstanding watch and my AD was giving me a killer price on it lower than SubC, but I just couldn't talk myself into to it

No, they haven't had any SS divers in over 4 months, they just got 2, one ND and one Date and both were snatched up same day. I imagine they had someone waiting on Date like I was waiting on ND.
It's Windsor Jewelers in Charlotte, Brice and I have bought several different watches from them and owner's son Ben is a watch enthusiast himself, comes to GTG's and stuff.http://windsor-jewelers.com/time-pieces/
